Bitcoin ETF outflows hit $1.5B as price retreats

Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are experiencing significant outflows, with $1.5 billion withdrawn in December, as Bitcoin’s price continues to hover below $27,000. The sustained sell-off reflects investor uncertainty over the cryptocurrency’s future, fueled by regulatory concerns and diminishing optimism about potential U.S. approval for spot Bitcoin ETFs. This marks the second consecutive month of outflows, further highlighting a cooling sentiment in the once-booming digital asset sector.

The largest Bitcoin ETF, the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), saw substantial withdrawals last week, underscoring growing apprehension among institutional investors. Analysts attribute this retreat to the Federal Reserve’s ongoing tightening of monetary policy, which has made riskier assets like Bitcoin less appealing. Meanwhile, macroeconomic pressures such as rising bond yields and recession fears have added to the headwinds, leaving the cryptocurrency market under pressure.

Despite recent setbacks, the broader crypto industry remains cautiously optimistic about Bitcoin’s recovery. Industry advocates believe the potential approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 could reverse the trend and bring substantial inflows. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has continued to delay decisions on major applications, stalling any immediate turnaround in investor sentiment. This regulatory uncertainty has left many on the sidelines, awaiting clearer signals before re-entering the market.

Bitcoin, currently trading around $26,800, has fallen over 12% from its 2023 peak, and the volatility shows no signs of easing. As the cryptocurrency struggles to find support, traders are looking to the $25,000 level as a critical threshold to watch. For now, the sharp ETF outflows and price stagnation underscore the challenges facing Bitcoin in a landscape dominated by cautious investors and tightening financial conditions.
